Part Two
J and I sat down with the kids on a bench inside Liberty Tree while T checked us in. It took about five minutes before they were calling our name, and E was running in just in time!
We were seated in the first room, near the windows, and we all basically knew exactly what we wanted as we sat down. Our waiter was quick and brought us our drinks faster than anything, and we ordered. As we were waiting for our food he went past to another table with desserts and it was like a bad movie - we all whipped our heads around to watch the desserts go by. That was about when we decided to stop being good and admit that we really just wanted dessert with our meals.
I got the pot roast, which I devoured:
It super hit the spot.
After we devoured our meals, we got desserts. I got the sticky toffee pudding:
And really enjoyed it, as I usually do!
While we were walking out of our meal, we caught the beginning of the Muppet’s Great Moments in History so we watched it. It had been on my list of things I really wanted to see so I’m glad I did!
Once we finished watching we headed towards Fantasyland. T and E had fastpasses to take the kids onto Pooh, so J and I headed down towards Storybook Circus. She was meeting her mother and grandmother later in the week, so we got her nana some ears and got them embroidered. We also went on a search for socks. T and E hadn’t brought a lot of socks for A, hoping he would wear his sandals for the majority of the trip, but the kid lives in his boots and refused to wear his sandals.
We found some socks just as we got a text saying that T and E were off Pooh so they headed to meet us. E also wanted to buy her friend some ears for her kid so we looked around to see what we could find.
J and I were supposed to have a FP for Little Mermaid at this point, so we headed over to that area. But A was exhausted and having a minor tantrum (seriously, the kid’s tantrums are pretty much equivalent to my whining so I’m super grateful for that) and didn’t want to leave T’s side. The line was only about a half hour long, so T said he’d take A through the line and we could use our passes, but we decided to just go with them, since being with the kids was more important than the ride.
Also, let’s be honest, if we got into the line we’d get to stay in the air conditioning a little longer.
The kids were a little bit more awake after that, which was good! So, I planned my trip too late to get a lot of the big ticket FPs, which includes Mine Train. I was a little bummed because it was going to be A’s first time riding and I didn’t want to miss it, but figured I’d figure it out.
Well, E had figured it all out. They had to do ride swap anyway because we had L, so our original plan was that I would stay back with L and keep her out of the sunshine, etc., while J, E, and T took A onto Mine Train. Then we would swap and I would get to ride with whatever parent and A.
Well, that changed slightly. As we were walking from Little Mermaid to Mine Train J noticed that the Fairy Godmother was out. She was wearing her Fairy Godmother shirt and is the kids’ godmother, so she said she’d take L to get the picture and would go second round. She and I switched bands and I headed over to the FP line with T, E, and A.
Someone got the red card!
When we got to the front of the line A decided he wanted to go with T so E and I went together. We were the last two rows so he got a great first ride. I filmed it all, and got a couple pictures of us on the ride as well!
A really liked it! He was scared to put his hands up until he saw me and E do it and then he actually did!
When we got off we asked if he wanted to go again but he said no. He’s at that age where “going again” isn’t really a thing he understands - we went once, why would I want to go another time?
We found J. They hadn’t met Fairy Godmother because her set had finished by the time they got over there and the stepsisters had come out. But someone had given L a wand from from Cinderella’s Royal Table so J had gone to the restroom to rinse it off and then let L have it. She was a very happy little princess!
Since A didn’t want to go again we asked who he wanted to stay with him and L. He chose T, so T offered to wait for the Fairy Godmother to come out again then get into the line so J could get a picture with her and both kids. The three of us used the rider swap FPs and headed in. This time we ended up in the first two rows.
We had a fun ride but once we got to the end the ride stopped abruptly for a few minutes. But we were literally done - we were at the cottage. So E spent the time trying to imitate the animatronic of the hag. Until the hag started cackling and turned around and E was flabbergasted. “Did that animatronic just sass me?” she yelled.
We were in hysterics by the time we got off. We were still laughing once we found T and the kids.
But we had gotten back just in time for the fairy godmother to come out! A and the CM handler bonded over having the same name, and the Fairy Godmother was smitten with the kids.
After that it was off on our next adventure!
we could carry a smaller one but he wants all his electronics. I wish I liked carrying that bag more it's definitely the cutest bag.
Pooh is so soft and huggable.
